I've read many past posts on this forum related to "parasite load", and the general parasitic infestation of Uros. The talk about it almost seems hum ho--like it's no big deal and pretty common.

Questions:

1. Is this a common problem?

2. How does a captive bred Uro get parasites?

3. Should I worry about my captive bred 16 week old vegetarian Uro suddenly getting infested with parasites?

4. How would I know she has parasites?
